Caring For Single Women.

Even The London PhrenoLOgicai Jour-
nai bears women in mind, as witness
this: The Danes have society unlike
those of any other people we know. 1t
is known as "The Maiden Assurance
Society" Its aim is TO provide for q
class single women of well-to-do fami-
lies. 1t shelters and cares for them,
and furnishes them with pin money"
Its Methods are thus described: AS soon
as girl is born to him, the father en-
rolls her name in certain association
and pays Il certain sum, and thereafter
fixed sum to the society. When she
has reached the age of-we believe-2l,
and is not married. she becomes enti-
tied to fixed income and to suite OF
apartments in large bu lding of the
association, with gardens and park
about it. inhabited by other young or
older ladies' who have thus become
members. Ii her father dies in her
youth. and she desires it, she has shell
ter in this building, and at a fixed time
her own income. When she dies or
marries, all this right to income lapses,
and the money paid in, swells the en-
dowment of the association. Her faith
er may pay for twenty years. and then
her marriage cuts off all advantage of
the insurance. But this very chanco
must enable the company to charge
lower annual premiums, and make the
burden less on the father insuring. He
has, anyway, the pleasant feeling that
his small annual payments are insuring
his daughters future, and giving her a
comfortable home and income after he
has gone. It's obvious that the chances
for marriage among a given number of
women can be calculated as closely as
those of death. The plan has worked
well for generations in Copenhagen.

A Confederate View:

Geo. E. M. Law OF South Carolina,
writing in the December Century of
his experiences at Gettysburg tells
a proposition which he made to Gen.
Hood for an attack on the Union left,
and says: "Ifound Gen. Hood on the
ridge where his line had been formed,
communicated to him the information
! had obtained and pointed out the
ease with which movement by the
right flank might be made. He coin.
cided fully in my views, hut said that
his orders were positive to attack in
front as soon as the left OF the corps
should get into position. / therefore
entered formal protest against a di.
rect attack, on the grounds: /. That
the great natural strength of the
enemy's position in our front rem
dered the result OF direct assault ex-
tremely uncertain. 2. That, even IL
successful, the victory would be pur-
chased at too great a sacrifice OF life,
and our troops would be in no con.
dition to improve it. 3. That a
front attack was unnecessary-theoc .
cupation oil Round Top during the
night by moving upon it from the
south, and the extension OF our right
wing from that point across the
enemy's left and rcar, being not only
practicable but easy. a. That such
movement would compel change
OF front on the part of the enemy, the
abandonment OF his strong position
on the heights, and foros him to at.
tack us In position.

Drunkenness in Paris.

Drunkenness is apparently on the
increase in Paris. The number of
workingmen who ruin themselves by
absorbing too much absinthe, "amo
picon," and other deleterious mixtures
grows more and more. There is,
therefore, abundant room for the OPP
erations of an energetic temperance
society to repress the ravages caused
by 'petit bleu'' and the opal colored
liquor which is imbibed by most Pa
SLAMS in moderate quantity in order
to give them an appititc fo- dinner.
Within the past fortnight several
deaths from drunkenness have occur
red in the metropolis. In one case a
respectable official in one of the public
departments was found dead in his bed.
In cupboard near him were several
empty bottles which had contained
rum. The post-mortem examination
disclosed the fact that he had died from
the effects of large and frequent doses
of undiluted Jamaica. Only yesterday n
drunken woman, hitherto an abnor-
NAL spectacle in the streets of Paris,
set fire to her clothes with match on
entering her room and was burned TO
death. 1t is not at all uncommon to
meet workingmen returning home so
utterly intoxicated that they fall down
at every step, and are only preserved
from breaking their skulls or being
run over by vehicles by the prov
idential Intervention that watches
over the inebriate. A short time since
| saw drunken lamplighter trying to
illuminate the shades of evening by
lighting tree with his six-foot pole. A
magnanmous policeman, who for
few moments placidly watched the
mans efforts to pursue his occupation
under difficulties. finally went over to
him. took the pole. lighted the lamps
and sent the devotee of B:.chus home
between TWO boys. -L0.d0n Telegraph.

opposite side of the branch was the parade
ground Of the Tennessseaus and back Of their

The ground was frozen to depth OF five
feet, the snow was foot deep and no indca-

"A day was appointed for the snow battle.
Tic Tennesseeans marched out aud formed
a line Of battle, their drums beating, bugles
blowing, colors flying, and officers mounted.
Every soldier had knapsack full of snow
balls.
The Georglans formed and prepared to
make the attack by crossing the branch.
There were 10000 men on each side, and the
scene was very imposing.
As soon as the Georgians crossed the branch
they met terrible tusillade from the Ten
nesseeans, who we're at home in the snow.
The commander of the Tennesseeans, a

bold dash was made by the Tennesseeans, and
he was rescued.
The Georgians and South Carolians being
unused to the snow were at great disadyan-
tage, and were forced back across the branch
As the Tennesseeans crossed the branch they
wet their snow-balls, and the next volley fired
at the Georgia and Carolina boys was terrible
in its effect Pressing on, the Tennesseeans
captured the quarters and proceeded to loot
the whole shebang, carrying off ratlons, to-
bacco, pipes, and everything else that did not
belong to the government. This snow-balling,
in which 20, 600 men took part. was no doubt
the biggest thing of the kind that ever &C.
